Toms River New Jersey

The Climate Type of Toms River, NJ is Humid Continental. The climate type was determined by the use of a climograph (information of temperature and precipitation) and use of Koppen system. The interaction of cold, dry air masses, from the northwest, with warm moist air masses from the south produces different types of weather patterns. The P

recipitation level is distributed evenly throughout the year with slightly more precipitation in the late summer months. Frequent storms also may occur in the late winter (northeasterly) and in the warm months (tropical storms or Hurricanes), causing much damage to all of the coastal areas including Toms River. Toms River also experiences all four-season changes. It is cold in the winter months (average temp. —32.9), cool during the fall months (average temp. —54.3), warm during the spring season (average temp. —60), and becomes hot during the summer months (average temp—72). Because New Jersey’s climate is continental, Toms River experiences warm summers and cold winters due to its location.

Soils of the Coastal Plains (includes Toms River) are taken from unconsolidated marine deposits and glacial outwash—sands of varying textures, silts, clays, and algae deposits. According to the USA soil map on page 370 of my textbook, Toms River soil is classified as spodosol—a spodic subsurface horizon with a reddish layer where o
